Act I
Overture
If you want to know who we are
Gentlemen, I pray you tell me
A wandering minstrel, I
Our great Mikado, virtuous man
Young man, despair
And have I journeyed
Behold the Lord High Executioner
As some day it may happen
Comes a train of little ladies
Three little maids
So please you, sir
Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted
I am so proud

ACT I, FINALE
With aspect stern and gloomy stride
The threatened cloud has passed away
Your revels cease
Away, nor prosecute your case
The hour of gladness is dead and gone
Oh, faithless one
Ye torrents roar

ACT II
Braid the raven hair
The sun whose rays
Brightly dawns our wedding day
Here's a how-de-do
Mia sama
From every kind of man
A more humane Mikado
The criminal cried
See how the fates
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Alone, and yet alive
On a tree by a river
There is beauty in the bellow of the blast
For he's gone and married Yum-Yum
